Directions
Crepes
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until incorporated (15-30 seconds).
- Add melted butter and whisk again for about 15-20 seconds.
- Add flour, salt and about ⅓ of the milk. Whisk until combined and lumps have disappeared. Add remaining milk while mixing.
- Place a skillet or crepe pan on medium heat for about 1–2 minutes. You want it hot but not smoking.
- Add a small dab of butter or a few drops of oil. Swirl it around or wipe with a paper towel to coat the surface lightly.
- Add ¼ cup of batter to skillet using a ladle. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
- Let the crepe cook for about 1–2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Use a spatula to gently lift and flip the crepe. Cook for another 30–60 seconds until golden. Transfer to a plate and repeat the process, adding a bit more butter/oil each time if needed.
Cinnamon Apples
- Stir all ingredients together and cook on medium heat until apples are cooked and tender but still have their structure (about 10-15 minutes).
- Add additional sugar as needed to taste.
Cinnamon Cream
- In a large bowl, soften cream cheese with sugar. Add milk gradually unti lsmooth and creamy. The result needs to be spreadable but not too liquidy.
- Finish with cinnamon, caramel sauce, powdered sugar and chopped pecans for garnish.
Plating
- Transfer crepe to a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar.
- Top with cinnamon apples, a dollop of cinnamon cream and finish with caramel sauce, and pecans.
